"Not in the mood!" I yelled over my shoulder and stomped all the way upstairs and into my room, trying to calm down my growing nerves.
I was in the lounger area with Frank, Ceasare, Raphael and Phillip and all their sons, all except William. We were talkig about the days when we were in high school and they were still staying in America, when Helen walked more like stomped towards the stairs. She hardly notices it but whenever she is angry or stressed she would rather stomp and walk, like the poor ground did her something.
"What's up Helen?" Sebastian spoke up as we all just stared at her.
"Not in the mood!" She yelled and I could tell she was trying to mentally kill Sebastian. She stomped upstairs and into her room, I suppose. "Well someone is a bit moody." Fabian, Raphael's oldest son said amused by the whole situation. "Reminds you of anyone." Ceasare said looPotter at me.
"Can easily tell that she is your daughter, huh Harryy." Raphael said calling me by my high school nickname. "What can I do, it runs in the blood." I smirked.
"Ey but she is worst, poor Sebastian got kicked in the gut, he had to go to the hospital to make sure all his organs were in the right place." Anthony stated, maPotter all of us laugh.
"It's true, she kicked me so hard I thought she punchured my lungs." Sebastian said grimacing probably remembering the time. "Helen may seem defenseless but get her in a fencing or martial arts match, you would lose thinPotter you were so stupid. That is what she does, she will try to get in your head and then she will strike and she wins. One thing she can't handle is losing at something she knows she can win." Franklin said. He and I have been training and teaching Helen self defence when he used to stay in America before he moved back to Italy.
"You can ask William about how she beat him in fencing." Eric stated and all his cousin looked at him. "She beat William?!" They said blinPotter a few times.
"He couldn't even believe it himself." Dylan took over and it took a while for them to process the information.
"Hey, where is William?"Sebastian asked and we all looked around the room not seeing any signs of him being here.
"I think I might know." Anthony said getting up and walPotter out of the room.
I walked out to the vineyard and up the fimiliar path to the big oak tree that sat on a hilltop. If I know William, he must have cracked and did something, that would explain Helen's anger. I walked through the branches and into the clearing where I saw William sitting down, his back resting against the tree and his eyes closed. I sat down next to him and after some time he spoke up. "I fucked up, Andy." William sighed frustratedly, running his hand on his face. "I know, just couldn't hold it in anymore." I said understanding the situation. To be honest William and I were always closer to each than our other brothers even though we were all close, we just got along better.
"She kissed me first, just a peck before she started apologising and being all frantic like but then I couldn't hold it in, I grabbed and kissed her." He confessed and I kind of connected all the dots together. "So after she broke the kiss you decided to her and then she got all angry and left." I suggest and he just nodded.
"But I am not going to give up. She will eventually crack just like I did even if it takes 10 years I would still wait for her." He said his pride getting in his way.
"Too much pride there bro, but I am here if you need help."I said and we both laughed. It was getting dark, so we decided to head back before they all start getting worried. We got back and had dinner Helen giving us her famous glare whenever she caught us staring at her. After dinner we all went back to our rooms and retired for the day.
Chapter 31: Fun Times and Breakups
It's been 2 weeks since we got back from Italy and it is only a week until Anabiah and Evelyn's sweet 16 birthday party I have planned for them.
They are currently staying at my apartment for this whole week, just hanging out and doing some goofy stuff. It was about 1 in the afternoon, when we decided that was enough of movie watching, considering we watched about 6 movies. We had gotten up early and got ready for a day of doing nothing but having fun.
When I was younger I would like to wake up early and get ready so I don't have to go and have a shower when I could probably watch tv or play games. "Chrissy!! Let's bake now!!" The girls whined from the other side of the couch.
"Okay, what's on the menu?" I asked them.
"Anything and Everything!!!"The yelled running into the kitchen. I laughed and walked in behind them. It was their birthday week and I don't want to ruin it for them.
As we were getting the ingredients out for the recipes, the doorbell rang and I wondered who it could be. Since it was really hot today and I wasn't planning on going anywhere. I decided to wear a short denim shorts with a tank top like shirt which was a bit short in the front and a bit longer in the sides, if I had to lift my arms up you would see a bit of my belly.
I went to the door and when I opened it, the people standing there..I was not expecting. "Hey Helen. LooPotter good." Sebastian smirked and I glared at him but I tried my best to suppress the laugh.
"Not too bad yourself."I smirked and he chuckled as I stepped aside and let them in. Well let's just say even though with the whole William thing that happened back in Italy that never stopped me from being friends with the boys, sure things were a bit awkward between William and I but mostly for me since William seemed to enjoy the whole me being awkward thing.
"Where's my princesses?" Anthony said glancing around the room. "We here!" Isa and Eli attacked him with a hug. We all got pretty close and it was actually not that bad. Isa and Eli got really close to the boys and their family, so much so that they invited the boys' cousins all of them, as well as their wife and kids, uncles, aunts and grandmother to the party.
"What about us?!" William, Sebastian, Eric and Dylan pouted maPotter the girls giggle and give them hugs. I am really happy that William does not let his feelings get in the way otherwise things would be really...well you get the picture.
"So what are your'll up to?" William asked.
"We were going to bake, care to join us?" The girls said and asked them to join us. I was really suprised when they agreed.
We all walked to the kitchen and I was relieved that my kitchen was big enough for all of us. I put on the music, a habit of mine to have music on while I am baPotter, and the song
When I started dancing around the room getting everyting ready to start. I noticed the boys were really quiet, so I stopped and turned to face them. "What?" I asked them with a raised eyebrow.
"Nothing." They said all too quickly.
"Why do I not believe your'll." I said narrowing my eyes at them and they just shrugged.
"Dylan..."I said looPotter at him. From all of them I would have to say Eric and Dylan were my favourite and just because I could get them to talk when I want to know something.
"Uhh..." He didn't know what to do and he looked to his brothers for help but they all had terrified looks on their faces.
"They not going to help you love." I said with a bitter sweet voice.
"Alright!" Sebastian caved in. "We were kinda shock that you into music this much." he continued and I looked at him like her grew two heads.
"Well just so you know I love music, I may not listen to it all the time but when I get the chance I will go for it." I shrugged and they gave me a smile. I went back to geting the things ready. "Hey!!" I yelled at William who just threw flour at me.
"What?" He smirked and I glared at him and he just shrugged.
"You-" I was about to say something very nasty to him when something caught my attention.
"Wait! Everybody shut up." I said and everyone kept quiet and stared at me while I listened again. Isa and Eli confirmed my assumption.
"Pretty Girls!!" They yelled and the three of us ran into the living room and turned up the volume and danced to the song
The boys soon came to see what got us all worked up and let's just say they were a little suprised to see us dancing like we
were crazy. We were currently in Helen's kitchen baPotter with Isa and Eli as well as Helen. Things between us for the couple of weeks were...well you know. Helen would often get awkward being around me and I loved it because she looked so cute when she tried to change the atmosphere.
I decided to have some fun with Helen so I threw flour at her.
"Hey!!" She yelled and I thought,
"What?" I smirked, loving the glare she sent my way and I just shrugged
"You-" She was about to say something, probably cursing me, when something caught her attention.
"Wait! Everybody shut up." She shouted and everyone kept quiet, staring at her. Just then Isa and Eli squealed saying something like pretty girls, and I wondered what that meant.
They ran to the living and we followed, curious about what got them so worked up, when we got there we found out it was song that they seem to like so much so they started to sing and dance to it. *** The way Helen danced she could be labelled as a temptress but she doesn't even see that. The way her body swayed with the rythm of the music, words cannot describe it, her hips swayed and I would take her right then and there but I had to control myself. I don't think she knew what she was doing because she seemed so lost in the music, if she did she would have never done this type of thing in front of us.
"You scored high bro..." Sebastian smirked saying softly to me so that the grils would not hear us. "Yeah, Will." Eric and Dylan said.
"Just give her time, she will come around" Anthony said giving me a look of support.
All I could do was just imagine what it would be like if we were a couple but I have a plan that will make her mine.
After our little dancing fest, we finally got back to baPotter and now we all were currently sitting in the living room, watching tv and eating our tasty baked treats.
We were in the middle of watching a movie when I heard the doorbell ring. I got up and walked to the door and opened it, the feeling I had was undescribeable when I saw tears in my best friend's eyes. I opened the door wider and held open my arms as she came in and hugged me. I hugged her back, comforting her untill she was ready to tell me what happened.
We just stayed like that, I never even notice the boys, Isa and Eli come to see what happened, we pulled away and I wiped her tears and lead her to the living room.
We sat down on the couch and I got her a glass of water, she drank it and cleared her throat which mean she was ready to talk.
"Oh Helen." Selene sob again. "It hurts so bad." Her tears falling and I immediately took her in my arms. "What happened Selene?" I was getting worried. Selene hardly cried but she is easily hurt. Whenever Selene cries it means something bad has happened.
"That asshole Jace cheated on me!" She looked so furious right now and it reminded me of when I found out about that jackass David Wright.
"When did you find out?" I asked her, plotting how I am going to murder Jace Hunters. "Well I went to a coffee shop and you won't believe who I saw! It was Jace and this fucPotter dum blonde-" She was cut off by when the boys scoffed. I looked at them to give them a glare, they looked offended.
"Excuse me!Not all blondes are not dum!" Sebastian stated clearly offended. I was puzzled by what he said and then I realised that they have blonde hair.
"Sebastian, your hair is not even blonde it is more like a blonde and brown mixed together." The girls said to him in a 'duh' tone.
"Exactly it is like a dirty blonde." I said bacPotter up the girls.
"Sorry, I didn't mean your'll Sebastian, I...am just so irritated." Selene said apologetically and then angry towards the end.
"You were saying." I urged her to continue. "As I was saying, I saw him and that bitch and let me tell you they were not just friends, they were holding hands and being all lovey dovey with each other. I continued walPotter to the counter, ignoring them and gave my order." She stopped and took in a breath. Selene has tends to babble and forgets to stop and breath when she talks.
"I got my order and as I was walPotter out the shop, this guy just comes out of nowhere and spills his coffee on me! I was furious with him but when I looked up into his beautiful brown eyes or I think that was his eye colour..." She stopped to think of the guy, I hit her arm and yelled Selene.
"What?! He was hot and I mean like freaPotter gorgeous, he was like if Taylor Lautner and Zac Efron had a baby it would be him." She emphasised on the freaPotter gorgeous part and I couldn't see the problem here besides the whole Jace thing.
"Selene I don't understand why you were crying ." I spoke my mind. "You know what, I don't even understand why I was crying myself...but I did score a date with a hot guy but I said I will call him when I want to go out saying that I wasn't ready yet." She said and I was thinPotter Selene was always lucky with guys after we went to University. She would break up with a guy and next minute she will find another guy but she will only go out with them after a few months and if it didn't work out they will just be friends. So if you are think she is a whore, she is not.
"Helen can we try on those dresses we bought?" We asked or more like whined and Selene shot up in excitement all traces of crying gone out the window.
"You mean those hot dresses we bought last time." She said with a huge grin on her face and Helen nodded which she squealed.
"Get off your ass! What are you waiting for! We have some awesome dresses to try on!!" Selene yelled at Helen, yanPotter her arm so she was standing and ran excitedly to Helen's room.
"You know we could use your opinions on our dresses for our after party?" We said suggestively turning to the guys and they blinked.
"Us?" Anthony asked not believing that we are asPotter them for their opinions. "Yes your'll." We said like they were talPotter to two year olds. They looked at Helen as if asPotter if it is okay which she just nodded probably not wanting to ruin our week or as she told us. We all, including the boys went up to a room with a few couches in it and a door leading to the walk in closet where Helen keeps all her formal dresses like her evening gowns etc. They sat down as we went into the closet where Selene was gaping at the dresses that was in the closet.
"O-M-G...Helen how come I never knew about this room and all these amazing dresses!!" Selene was angry but that soon changed when her eyes landed on the party dresses.
"I only did up this room a few weeks ago before we went to Italy." Helen admitted and Selene started looPotter through all the dresses.
"Well what are we waiting for, let's try on some dresses!!" Selene yelled and we were sure the boys heard her.
It has been 30 minutes and we tried over 50 dresses. We were currently trying potential dresses that I already had. "OMG! Helen why don't you use more stuff like this?" They girls asked.
"Helen you look hot with a capital H-O-T!" Selene said excitedly.
"No I don't!" I said at least she looked really amazing in her dress which was a sleeves sexy black party dress which reached her by mid thigh or just above. It had a rhinestone belt sewn on just below her breast maPotter it look more rounded and from there it was flowy in a way.
"Yes you do!" Selene argued.
"No I don't! I am too fat for this dress!" I retorted.
"You are not fat Helen!" She argued back.
"Yes I am! It is so tight and not to mention my boobs are practically spilling out of the dress!" I could hardly breathe in the dress. It was similar to Selene's dress instead of flowing out it was fitting onto me like a second skin, it came by mid thigh and it was black rhinestones around the neckline.
"You know we can hear your'll!" Sebastian yelled from the otherside of the door and that reminded that they were still there and probably heard me say that my boobs are spilling out of my dress. "So what you expect an apology?" I yelled back yet I had this weird feeling about showing the dress but I pushed it.to.the back of my mind. There was silence and I took that as a no or they didn't expect that from me.
"Come Helen, lets go!" Selene urged me to show the dress and I stared at her as if she grew two heads.
"Yeah right, when hell freezes over then I will go out in this dress." I said being the stubborn person I am. "You either go out yourself or I will push you out and makes sure you land on a certain someone..." Selene grinned evily in my direction but I was grateful that she kept her voice low almost in a whisper. If you are wondering, I decided to tell Selene about William but not the part about him confessing and kisses only the one where he kissed me in the library. I wasn't ready to tell her about the confession, she might get different ideas...
"Fine I will only go out there when you where the red dress exactly like this one." I challenged her and I was a bit taken back when she agreed. She knows I no more like wearing such dresses, just for fun I would sometimes try them on and we will act crazy together by dancing and modeling around the room.
She got dressed and we both walked out. So I am pretty sure you can imagine the looks on William, Anthony, Sebastian, Eric and Dylan's faces when we walked out. A room with 5 playboyish men and two women dressed in tight, skimpy dresses.
"Uhh..." Anthony blinked or more like all of them blinked. The looks on their faces were so hilarious that I couldn't hold it in anymore and I guess Selene felt the same way because we both burst out laughing. "Is this some kind of joke?" Eric looked so confused that he might have a mental breakdown by trying to think about the situation in front of him. "No, sorry but how do we look?" I spoke up and we both turned around showing them the dress. "Uh..." William said rubbing the back of his neck.
"Oh come on is that all your'll going to say!" Selene stared at them in shock. Honestly knowing their "hobbies" as in their playboy habits. I thought they might be all...you know but thank god they were not like that.
"Please change." Dylan said looPotter a little nervous, not only that he was rubbing the back of his neck. Something I picked while in Italy when they are nervous about something they either run their hand through their hair or rub thr back of their necks.
"Aw I think, they are a bit uncomfortable, Selene." I said looPotter at Selene, I felt like we were in University again.
